The aim of the action was informing the public that at the borders of Europe – especially at the Mediterranean, in our immediate proximity, more and more migrants and refugees are dying. It is estimated that from 2000 until today almost 30000 people dyed while trying to reach the territory of Europe. In 2014. in the Mediterranean 3,419 people lost their lives, and in the first half of 2015 this number reached a worrying 1,829 deaths. The deaths of migrants are a consequence of European restrictive policies, that are building a tight wall, „fortress Europe“ towards those that are in need of protection. The action was also a plea to Croatian politicians that have the power of influence in EU structures, to use their voices in lobbying for a change and practises with more solidarity towards refugees.
